Mysterious Wife

My Wife\'s Journal

Ericson stood in front of me. We shared a look. I saw in his eyes, something evil he was going to say.

“Your wife Sara is a vampire.”

Vampire…..the word I just heard….I never believed in that kind of things…Vampire, wolves and witches. I thought it just created in books for our entertainment. I thought it just began like a folklore, where many centuries ago a grandmother telling stories to her grandchildren about vampires, wolves and witches and those stories spread like virus in upcoming generations mind and became reality. Whereas it wasn't reality.

But today this person Ericson was going to change my whole view regarding this fictional characters.

Ericson continued talking, “Sara is a vampire...you know from how long...from five hundred years.”

He said my wife was a vampire from five centuries and I was like astonished didn't know what to respond. There was a small books rack behind couch. Ericson walked towards that. He picked up someone journal and threw it towards me.

I caught that journal and looked at it. It was my wife Sara's journal. I remembered few weeks before she fell unconscious, she was finding her journal. She said it was missing. She was so troubled while finding her journal. Like she lost something precious.

I didn’t know what's inside that journal…because I never read it because she asked me to not read her journal. I was very loyal to her. Sometimes I was very curious about reading her journal, that what she was hiding and what she had written. But my loyalty to her wins and stopped to do so. But from the day it went missing she was so troubled.

Ericson made me troubled too when he said “I read out your wife's journal...she had written of her entire life...how and when she became vampire…….You wife was a traveler...never stayed in one place more than a year...a solution to get rid of witches.”

A character like vampires and witches I heard in stories now I was hearing like in a reality. Ericson continued telling me what he read in my wife journal “Witches…..another supernatural thing who is against vampirism because vampire is a destructor for humans...she described about you Marsh….in her journal.”

I opened my wife's journal and on the first page of the journal, I found a picture of our memory…….Memory of our wedding. Now I got it how Ericson knew about me and Sara.

That night I broke my loyalty. I read her journal and whatever Ericson told about my wife that was true. Sara my wife was a five hundred year old vampire. Although, she was not the first vampire. Some vampire made her vampire but she was the only oldest vampire left in today's era.

Sara's journal took me so close to that mystery. The mystery happened that night. But it was troubling me that what was my wife’s journal doing here. Ericson also didn't know about it.

Like the mystery my questions were also growing. “Who is that girl died in a room and why.”

“The girl died in a room was a witch and killed by my little brother Elex...Elex is a vampire too.”

“What….your brother is also a vampire from how long?”

“It wasn't much long just some months...one day I came home early from office and I saw Elex was biting on some girl’s neck…drinking her blood and that girl silently allowed him to drink her blood like it was nothing…My appearance distracted him and he looked at me….I saw his vampire teeth and blood all around his lips..I saw his lustful eyes…I saw what monster he became…Just then everything changed…his monsters eyes changed into guilt when he saw me…before I stopped him he just run away and I never saw him again.”

When Ericson told my story about his brother I thought we are on the same mission. Looking for someone we loved.
